Bates College is a private, highly selective, residential college devoted to undergraduate study in the traditional disciplines of the liberal art s and sciences as well as in emerging interdisciplinary programs. Founded in 1855 by abolitionists who believed strongly in freedom, civil rights, and the importance of a higher education for all who could benefit from it, the College has always admitted students without regard to race, religion, national origin, or gender, and was the first co-educational college in New England. The Edmund S. Muskie Archives and Special Collections Library supports the academic mission of Bates College by acquiring, caring for, and making accessible historically significant records of the College, rare books, oral histories, and manuscript collections, including the papers of U. S. Senator Edmund S. Muskie for whom the library is named.Browse CollectionBrowse by Subject / KeywordsAll items (most recently added first)
